Hi Janice, So I reserved a few chemistry books from the library, and one came last week. It's called the Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments. I started reading it, and LOVED the first few chapters - so explanatory, and so eye-opening - "Oooooohhhhh, so THIS is what chemistry is supposed to be all about - how INTERESTING!" And I love how the author tells you where to get equipment, how to sub in more available chemicals, how to properly keep a lab notebook, etc.. I had no idea chemistry could be so interesting. Then I said to myself, "cha-ching! I wonder if this is the book Janice talked about a couple of years ago!" A quick search, and voila - there it was, Janice's ravings. WOW! It's a great book!! I see why you like it!
